Decoupage with napkins is so simple and you can make these pumpkins as fancy, spooky or cute as your heart desires.
I love DIY projects and Halloween is the best so I’ve got lots of different posts to check out. This DIY coco guitar is one of my favorites.
I saw these napkins and thought they were just gorgeous. I knew I needed to do something with them. They aren’t that halloween-esque. BUT they are a pretty neutral fall vibe for people who aren’t in love with red, yellow and orange.
The thing that’s so fun about these is that you can use this tutorial to make them fit your vibe. I found a couple of other decoupage napkins that you may prefer to use.
Decoupage with Napkins Pumpkin DIY
Decoupage with napkins is so simple and you can make these pumpkins as fancy, spooky or cute as your heart desires.
Materials
- Decorative Napkins
- Pumpkin (Mine is from the dollar store!)
- Spray paint
- Modpodge
Tools
- Foam brush
Instructions
- Begin by spray painting your pumpkins if your base is a different color than your napkin.
- Cut your napkin into smaller, more manageable pieces.
- Paint a thin layer of mod podge on your pumpkin where you'd like the napkin piece to lay.
- Carefully place the napkin on the sticky area of the pumpkin and use your fingers to gently lay it flat.
- Place another thin layer of mod podge on top of the napkin by starting at the center and gently brushing to the edges so the napkin doesn't crumple or rip.
Where to Buy Decoupage Napkins
Pretty much any napkin can be used for decoupage, however, if you’re looking for some fun patterns I suggest Amazon, craft stores, party supply stores, and sometimes the dollar store as well.
Can you use modpodge on napkins?
Absolutely! You will need to be gentle with it but I’ve done a lot of modpodge with napkins with great results.
Can you use normal napkins for decoupage?
Yes. Any napkin is going to work. There are not specific napkins set aside for projects like this. Part of the fun is finding the beautiful patterns!
